Reduce, Reuse, Recycle...My Latest Project




In an effort to be "green", I decided to give these old director chairs a new life. I've had them about 8 or more years and they have had any where from red to black replacement canvas seats & backs.
After giving them a good sanding, and 2 coats of black paint, they are ready for another set of replacement canvas seats.  Ordered them online from Lowe's (only $3.73 each) and picked them up from the store the next day.  I could have picked them up the same day, but it's a long way from my house.
Finished product with green canvas seats.  They look awesome.  These were so inexpensive, I ordered some tan ones too.  Only spent $31.93 for the 2 sets of replacement seats and about $3/can for paint (spray paint). WHO SAYS IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN?                                                   
Stay tuned to see where they will show up next!
